OFFICIAL PUBLICATION 


Published by 


PORTLAND POST CARD COMPANY 
SEATTLE. WASHINGTON 
PORTLAND, OREGON 

Mailed prepaid to any part of 
the World upon receipt of 56c 


FEB 6 I9ra 



























To represent a total expenditure of ten million dollars, opens in Seattle 
U. S. A., June I, 1909, and continues until October 16, 1909 

While the primary purpose of this great exposition is to exploit both the American and Canadian Northland, it will also demonstrate the 
marvelous progress of Western America, where, within a radius of 1,000 miles of Seattle live 7,500,000 persons. The Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition 
will he the true exponent of the natural wealth and development of this groat territory. 

International expositions have always involved a tremendous waste of money, labor and genius; magnificent exhibit palaces have been for 
the most part constructed of flimsy materials and of no permanent value. Seattle is the first exposition city in the United States to realize this, 
and by giving a little time and thought to the enterprise, a plan was worked out whereby most of the buildings will remain assets to the community. 

The exposition occupies 250 acres of the campus of the University of Washington, and is reached by seven double-tracked car lines, twenty 
minutes’ ride from the heart of the business section. Lake Washington forms the eastern border of the exposition, and on the west is Lake Union, 
beautiful fresh-water lakes, which permit many aquatic features to be presented. 

With mountain, lake and woodland environment, the Alaska-Yukon-Paeific Exposition is the most beautiful exhibition ever built. The unsur- 
2 ">assed stretches of water front, the forests, vistas, gentle slopes and commanding terraces are part of the display nature has furnished to surround 
the central pictures of this great fair, where for architectural beauty the exhibit palaces have never been equalled. 

Fifteen stately buildings are grouped about the Court of Honor, and the Cascades in the group of United States Government Buildings, Con¬ 
gress having appropriated $600,000 for participation at Seattle. The buildings consist of the main exhibit structure, and separate buildings for Alaska, 
Hawaii and the Philippines, Government Fisheries and Biograph Building. On the shores of Lake Union the government is erecting a life-saving 
station, where daily exhibition drills will be given. The submarine boat will also be demonstrated by the government at the Exposition. 

To the right of the Government Buildings are the State Fisheries Building and the Agricultural Palace. To the left stand the Mines and Man¬ 
ufactures Building, and in a compact and unique manner the remaining buildings are grouped about the central court. The Foreign Building contains 
exhibits from all European countries. Canada, Japan and China .are represented in buildings of their own. 

The Forestry Building is the largest log house ever built in the world. The Auditorium and Fine Arts Buildings are of steel and brick construe 
tion, and will revert to the use of the University at the close of the Exposition, as will the Machinery Hall, another of the permanent buildings. 

Completing the picture will be the State, Foreign, Concession and other buildings. The Arctic Brotherhood, a fraternal organization of Alaska 
and the Yukon, will house its exhibits in a log house of permanent construction. At the close of the fair this building will be used as a museum of 
natural history and a fraternity hall for students from Alaska attending the University. 

The Oregon State Building was the first state structure completed on the Exposition grounds, and California, with its building of Spanish Mis¬ 
sion architecture, was second. The Washington Building was the third state house completed, and many other states making appropriations took up 
the work .of construction shortly after the first of the new year. Every county in the State of Washington is represented either by exhibits or separate 
buildings, and religious, national and fraternal bodies have tneir own buildings. 

At the Alaska-Y^ukonrPacifie Exposition life, color, motion arul variety are the chief characteristics of the exhibits, and the demonstration of 
interesting processes of production and manufacture is a rule closely followed out. The tranformation of the raw material into the finished product 
will be exemplified. 

The amusement section of the Exposition is called the Pay Streak, a term well known to mining men in Alaska, the Y^ukon and the Pacific 
States. The attractions at the Alaska-Yukon-Paeific Exposition are new in every respect, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to build 
this part of the great fair. . 

The United States Government will have the Pacific squadron in the harbor of Seattle twice during the life of the Exposition, and the Japanese 
and Chinese governments will send over war vessels for the inspection of visitors to Seattle. All foreign nations having vessels in Pacific waters 
will participate in a grand fleet review during the Exposition period. 

Seattle will offer something new in the line of special events. The fastest motor boats in the country will race on the inland lakes and on Puget 
Sound. Airship and balloon races will be held, and thec^aerhplane will be demonstrated. The annual games of the Amateur Athletic Union will be 
held in Seattle, as will the contests of the Y. M. C. A, and other sporting events of national interest. 

Eastern colleges have been invited to send their‘rowing crews to Seattle, and wdth the crews from the Western universities, one regatta will 
be held each month during the life of the Exposition. 

Visitors to the Exposition will experience no unpleasant weather. Seattle never suffers any great extreme of heat or cold; in the summer the 
temperature rarely reaches 90 degrees, and in the winter it never goes as low as zero. The annual mean rainfall is 51.65 inches. 

With low railroad rates to Seattle, thousands of visitors will be attracted to the Puget Sound country and Alaska. There are many interest¬ 
ing side trips to points of interest near Seattle at the expenditure of little time and money. 

Seattle, essentially a city of hotels, will be able to house and feed at reasonable rates the largest crowd of visitors that will be at the Expo¬ 
sition at any one time.

PALACE OP FINE ARTS.

that could be obtained is shown. Many valuable private collections are on exhibition. The Palace of Fine Arts is an imposing permanent 
fire-proof structure. In design it is a chaste treatment of the classic*, Plauking its main entrance are huge Ionic columns, while the same 
effect is carried out on the capitals of pilasters on all four facades. Cost, $160,000.

ernment Building, -with a freedom of character, runs toward the French Renaissance in style of architecture. Its center, surmounted by a 
huge dome, 150 feet in diameter and 150 feet in height from the ground, the Government Building is the most prominent structure on the 
grounds. To the rear of this structure is the Government Fisheries Building, while on the west and east connected with peristyles broken 
in their centers by big arches, are the Alaska, Hawaii and Philippine Buildings and the Government Forestry and irrigation Buildings, 
respectively. Near the main Government Building to the east is the Biograph Lecture Hall. All of the structures in the Government 
group are along the same style of archi'tecture as the main building. Cost of group is $350,000.

SIBERIAN NATIVES FROM ARCTIC OCEAN. 

Tliei?e are tliree different kinds of natives in the Eskimo Village, thos e who have long been associated with white men, those who have only 
recently come into contact with modern civilization, and those who have been untouched by white civilization. Among the latter are
